Pressed for time, but love your wine? Here’s a deal for you. Give us 13 minutes and we’ll sit you down for a conversation with nine different Snake River wineries…all of whom braved the bitter cold of winter to participate in the recent Winter Wine Tasting on the Grove in downtown Boise – an event sponsored by the Idaho Wine Commission and the Downtown Boise Association.

If you’re a regional wine aficionado, you’re going to really enjoy this opportunity to sit down and get to know a rising star in the constellation of Idaho wineries. In fact, if you have a bottle handy, I’d really recommend pairing a Cinder Syrah with this podcast.

We finish up part two of our Wine Boot Camp podcast episode with a walk to Berryhill’s, where we sample wines from Pend d’Oreille and Holesinksy Winery, then finish up the evening at the Red Feather Lounge. Here we chat briefly with local wine writer Gary Sholtz, learn about the latest happenings at Woodriver Cellars and Cold Springs Vineyard, and wind up the evening with some perspective on Idaho wines from Channel 12’s Nate Kuester.

It’s just another day in the life at Behind the Menu.
